F
when you think about it
he's watching
every word you
 D   F   D          F
say hey dazed and when

he's sussed you out
he calls her up and out
she comes and
hustles us

A#    G
long digging
A#    G
gone fishing
A#     G
love drinking

Chorus:
     D                  G
the bartender and the thief are lovers
  D                        G
steal what they need like sisters and brothers
 D                 G
met in a church a night to remember
 D                     G
robbing the graves of bodies dismembered

He watched the lesbian talk
She kissed and groped but mostly talked in lust
Crushed

He couldn't make the call
His eyes were gripped on licking tongues
Enough's enough
Failed for once

Long digging
Gone fishing
Love drinking

Chorus

Long digging
Gone fishing
Love drinking

Chorus

Saved what they stole to meet at the altar
Place where they first set eyes on each other
Flew to the sun to start life all over
Set up a bar and robbed all the locals
